We decided to make it the default long ago, and never heard any
significant complaints -- until now.  So changing the default after
all those years is not an option.  But you can customize the default
value of mode-line-format to omit the '(vc-mode vc-mode) part from it,
and then I think you will get what you want, locally.

These checks are very fast, so I see no reason to avoid them by
default.
